After Hundreds Of Brain Scans, Researchers Found Three Types Of ADHD

Cocaine reshapes the plasticity of ventral hippocampus inputs onto nucleus accumbens medium spiny neurons, and reversal of this plasticity impairs cocaine seeking.Cocaine may be remodeling vHPC neurons through altered gene expression and cell excitability to drive cocaine reward and seeking behavior

Meditation induces shifts in neural oscillations, brain complexity, and critical dynamics: novel insights from MEG

New randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial suggests CBD (cannabidiol) oil could improve certain social behaviors and lower anxiety in autistic children, and reduce parenting stress

MIT researchers have discovered a "universal signature" of anesthesia: whether using propofol, ketamine, or dexmedetomidine, all drugs trigger the same instability in brain activity

Aerobic exercise associated with structural brain changes and 15–20% improvement in memory performance

Brain scans reveal a bipolar-like link to childhood trauma in some depressed patients

Psilocybin unlocks a specific biological signature in the brain linked to profound mystical states.Scientists found these measurable brain wave changes directly correspond to the intensity of a person’s psychedelic experience.

AI neural network helps reveal human cognitive mechanisms for organizing knowledge about a range of feelings

A new study published in the Annals of Neurology is among the first to link sound sensitivity in people with chronic back pain to measurable changes in the brain - and to show those changes can improve with therapy.

A single session of physical exercise can spawn a boost of neural activity in brain networks that underlie learning and memory

Why we still reach for the biscuit tin, even when we’re full: brain activity study reveals that our brains continue to categorize food as rewarding even after we are full…

Research found brain communication patterns in a group of individuals who have experienced childhood adversity and trauma shows that lifetime physical activity can reshape neural connectivity, thereby strengthening the brain's internal communication and optimizing its response to stress

Pioneering drug capable of reversing cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease in animal models: Unlike current drugs, which remove beta-amyloid plaques in brain, new experimental drug reprograms neuronal epigenome by correcting gene expression that contribute to progression of disease.

Chemical changes in a pregnant person’s brain can decrease their “fear memory,” according to research conducted on pregnant and parous rats

In Alzheimer’s disease, glutamate excitotoxicity which can damage neurons through chronic activation is exacerbated by deficiency of ABCA7, the second strongest genetic risk factor for the disease

Yaks may hint at a way to treat brain diseases like "Multiple Sclerosis", a disease that affects your brain and spinal cord.Animals that live at high altitudes, such as yaks have a genetic mutation that may suggest new ways to treat brain diseases like Multiple Sclerosis.

Investigation in how language deficits progressed alongside biological markers of Alzheimer's disease found individuals who reported having difficulties finding their words were at higher risk of pathological protein accumulation in brain regions where Alzheimer is thought to first develop

Bilingual brains use one shared meaning system for both languages, but each language reshapes it, study finds
